## Installation
|
|
|
|
$ npm install express
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
The quickest way to get started with express is to utilize the executable [`express(1)`](http://github.com/expressjs/generator) to generate an application as shown below:
|
|
|
|
Install the executable. The executable's major version will match Express's:
|
|
|
|
$ npm install -g express-generator@3
|
|
|
|
Create the app:
|
|
|
|
$ express /tmp/foo && cd /tmp/foo
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
$ npm install
|
|
|
|
Start the server:
|
|
|
|
$ npm start
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
* Robust routing
|
|
* HTTP helpers (redirection, caching, etc)
|
|
* View system supporting 14+ template engines
|
|
* Content negotiation
|
|
* Focus on high performance
|
|
* Executable for generating applications quickly
|
|
* High test coverage
|
|
|
|
## Philosophy
|
|
|
|
The Express philosophy is to provide small, robust tooling for HTTP servers, making
|
|
it a great solution for single page applications, web sites, hybrids, or public
|
|
HTTP APIs.
|
|
|
|
Express does not force you to use any specific ORM or template engine. With support for over
|
|
14 template engines via [Consolidate.js](http://github.com/visionmedia/consolidate.js),
|
|
you can quickly craft your perfect framework.
